What
do you want to be when you grow up? Mostly everyone is asked this question in
high school. The answer helps us determine what college to attend, what classes
to excel in, or trainings or certifications to prepare for upon graduation. How
will we ever know? And who will help us find out? Pointii has the answer.

Students need career
experience in professions that match their skill sets and interests. However,
school counselors are simply too overwhelmed and don't have the contacts within
the community to provide each single student with opportunities to help them find
their career aspirations. Most times, students are asked to make cold calls and
very few ever do. Pointii provides counselors with an online platform that
connects their students to local professionals who are available for
informational interviews, mentorship, experiential tours, and internships. With
Pointii, not only are students matched to industry experts, but counselors are
given a dashboard that displays student recommendation count, number of student
career experiences, feedback from professionals (after career experiences), and
data on student soft skill assessments.

So far, Pointii has piloted
twelve schools and converted all to customers the following school year. Since
its launch last October 2015, Pointii has almost 6000 students and counselors
from Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse successfully using the platform. Visit www.pointii.comto learn more!
